(Special.) The appropriations Included in the ,1,000,000 appropriation bill, which has been held up for more than a year by the referendum, will become available for expenditure about June 20, at which time those who now hold certificates of allowance for services or supplies furnished to state in stitutions may exchange their certificates for warrants and then get their money. At the same time the appropriations for the four normal schools will become available and the expenses already in curred by those institutions for the years 1905 and 1906 can be paid. The normal schools will have an abundance of money for their running expenses for the re mainder of 1906. Of the total appropriation of $1,034,000, claims have been incurred and audited for about $427,000, for the maintenance of the asylum, penitentiary, reform school, mute school, blind school, for the transporta tion of insane persons and convicts, and for several other purposes, such as the payment of rewards for arrests, re turn of fugitives, etc. For this $427,000 certificates of allowance have been is sued, showing that th claimants have furnished labor or supplies lor the state, in pursuance of laws in force at the time. These certificates merely show that the claim has been audited and allowed, but mat there being no appropriation avail able the claimant cannot receive a war rant until an appropriation has been made and his certificate has been returned to tne Secretary of State. Warrants for Certificates. As soon as all the election returns are in, tne secretary or state will canvass "is vuio in me presence ot tne uovernor, And it thft flnnmnrlattnn Kill V. . . ,. a majority vote in the affirmative the i 1 1 1 i - . , uw,c,uur wi iobuc nis proclamation to that effect. This will probably be done the latter part of this week, and then the Secretary of State will notify the jreisuna lo wnom certificates ox allow ance were issued that they can get war rants by sending in their certificates. It is probable that there will be nearly enough money to pay all demands against the state until the meeting of the next Legislature, but the balance in the gen eral fund will be depleted, and for two or three months it may be necessary to Indorse warrants. There Is now in the general fund in the state treasury about uvu.wu. j no cmims already allowed will take H27.000 of this. If presented, and the expenses of the normal schools for 1905 . 06. together with the running expenses of the state Institutions at Salem for the present quarter, will take $50,000 more. There will be monthly payrolls to meet In August September and October, but they will be a little lighter than usual, because the mute school and blind school are closed for vacation. . In November the last half of the state taxes will be come due. and then there will be money enough coming in to pay all claims as mey accrue. May Be Deficiency In Pall.

The only revenue coming Into ...e iicnnury oeiore November will be about $40,000 from corporations, which will pay their annual licenses in July. In Janunrv nf Mtph i -.1 i . . v, .. - . . Secretary of State and State Treasurer umoio mo expenses to Which the state will be subject for that year. In January, 3905. they made the usual estimates for running expenses, and in law. made an estimate of $150,000 for new nuiicungs. The appropriation bill having been held up by the referendum the money was not eirryenrlert ' In January. 1906, the usual estimates were maae, Dut a deduction of $150,000 was made on account of the unexpended building appropriation, and the remain der of the necessary revenue apportioned among the counties in the usual man ner. The necessary revenue having been raised, but not expended, to the amount of $500,000, that amount haa accumulated in the general fund of the state trasury and is now ready for the payment of claims. Private Funds for Normal Schools. How much money the normal schools have expended it Is Impossible to say, as they have been running on private funds furnished by persons who were willing to take chances on the appropriation bill finally passing or the next Legislature repaying the money advanced. The nor mal at Weston closed at the end of the school year in 1905. The appropriations provided in the bill that has now become a law were: Mon mouth. $36,000; Ashland, $31,000; Drain $21,000: Weston, $25,000. Each of these in stitutions Is now entitled to have paid from the above amounts whatever sums they have expended during the years 1905-6. They will also be entitled to ex pend whatever they wish for legitimate purposes during the remainder of 1906. Since the appropriation bill permits the expenditure of the money for either run ning expenses or for Improvements, It is probable that each institution will 'use up almost the entire amount of its ap propriation. Thus Weston, which has not been running, can use nearly all of Its $25,000 for Improvements, saving only enough to complete the year 1906, and then be in excellent condition to begin the year 1907 on an appropriation to be made by the Legislature of that year. Referendum Strengthens Hold. It Is therefore apparent that the refer endum on the appropriation bill has strengthened, rather than weakened, the hold of the normal schools. It is the rule that where an appropriation has been made for a certain period it may be ex pended after that period provided the contracts are made before the limit of time expires. Therefore, any of the in stitutions which have appropriations cov ering improvements may make contracts during 1906 and use the money In 1907. Among the appropriations included in the bill, and for which no expenditures have been made, are: New buildings and Improvements at the Asylum $S7,250 Additional appropriations and new buildings for University of Oregon. 82.000 Kxperlment station at Urrion 15.000 New buildings. Agricultural College.... 65.O0O New buildings. Soldiers' Home 8,000 The larger part of this money will yet be expended for the purposes named, but probably not all of it, for the reason in some instances that time will not per mit. Probably only a small proportion of the claims that have been allowed and not paid will be the subject of interest claims. Prior to July. 1905, the supplies furnished, to the institutions were furnished on contracts made when it was assumed that money would be available for prompt payment- Prices were made upon that understanding, and, it is believed, the persons who furnished the goods are en titled to Interest. But when the state boards advertised for bids in 1905 and 1906, they called attention to the fcfet that the contractors would be obliged to wait for their money, and the bidders made their prices accordingly. Full Salaries Are Paid. Salary claims at all the institutions have been cashed by the banks at face value and employes of the Institutions have received their pay In full. This ar rangement was made upon the promise of the state boards that they would ask the Legislature to allow interest at 6 per cent. It is therefore probable that the Legislature will appropriate money to pay Interest on the salary claims. The sal ary claims will amount to about $125,000, and have been outstanding about a year, or, on an average, six months, so that the interest, at 6 per cent, would amount to about $3750. Briefly summed up. the situation with regard to the $1,000,000 appropriation bill is that nearly half the sum has been al ready expended and the claims therefor will soon be paid. Much of the other half will be expended, or contracts made for its expenditure, before the close of the present year. In the end. the tax payers will pay all the sums included in the appropriation bill, with some Increases due to higher prices for goods, and in terest to the amount of about $3500. SETTLERS TO OWN CANALS NEW CONTRACTS UNDER CAREY LAND ACT. Title to Pass From Irrigation Com pany When Cost of Recla mation Is Repaid. SALEM. Or.. June 11. (Special .1 At h request of the State Land Board Attorney- treneral Crawford has prepared a new form to be used In making contracts for tne reclamation of ami lnnri im.it. k Carey act. The new contract contains several very important features among which are: - That the . reclamation onmnanv'a mlii must be made a part of the contract; inat.no water rights ehall be sold outside the tract covered bv the rnntract itnm an the lands mentioned in the contract have been supplied: that contracts with settlers shall not be made until the land has been reclaimed; that whenever 80 per cent of tne reclaimed lands have been sold to settlers the company shall transfer the reclamation works to a corporation lormea Dy tne settlers. Under this contract th irHctinn DanV Would not hold SL rwrnptnol collect tolls, but when the settlers had repaid tne cost or reclamation they would own the canals. Under -present contracts the company apparently has a perpetual right to collect an annual water charge. v SELECTION OF LIEU LAND. r Move to Secure Right for Oregon Accorded to Washington. SALEM, Or., June 11. (Special. ) In an effort to secure for the State of Oregon the same rights and privileges accorded to the State of Washington in the selec tion of lieu lands. Governor Chamberlain has written to Senator Gearin asking him to secure, if possible, the enactment of a law which shall give the state 60 days in which to make a selection In newly-surveyed townships. The Governor calls at tention to an act of Congress of the year 1893, wherein It is provided that the State of Washington shall have a preference right of 60 days in which to select lieu land in newly-surveyed townehlns. Here in Oregon that right does not exist, but as soon as plats are filed the railroads and other holders of "scrip" who have already examined the land file on all of it that is worth taking. The state must take what the railroads overlook or do not want. It is not so in Washing ton, where the ecrippeVs must wait 60 days before making their filings. As the State of Oregon has some 30,000 acres of forest reserve base which could be used to advantage In the selection of lieu land if there were an opportunity Governor Chamberlain asks Senator Gearin to confer with Senator Fulton and eee what can be done to secure legisla tion which would be of Immense value to the state by adding thousands of dollars to the common school fund.

COWELL WOULD DISGRACE Accuses President of Roche Harbor Company of Manipulation to Gain Control of Valua ble Property. SEATTLE, Wash., June 1L (Special.)- Federal Judge Hanford today sent the case of Ernest V. Cowell against John S. McMlllIn, State Railroad Commissioner, to the Master in Chancery to take testi mony. Cowell, alleging McMlllIn has ma nipulated the affairs of the Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Company to suit him self and has gained control of the com pany, is asking for a receiver, and an in junction to forbid McMillin's disposing of his Interests In the corporation before the suit is- settled. The case has been on in the Federal Court all day. Judge Han ford's suggestion that the plaintiff ac cept a bond and let the controversy be determined on its merits was spurned by McMlllIn. There is more than appears on the sur face in the suit. E. V. Cowell. the com plainant, is several times a millionaire. and so was his father. His fight is to dis grace McMlllIn and to save himself in a business and political way. The Cowell interests neglected the Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Company for years, be cause of millions Invested elsewhere. The jiending suit means nothing to them finan cially, it is an acknowledged effort to eclipse MtMlllin. , In a y- nsational series of affidavits filed in the Federal Court this morning Mc MlllIn Is accused of having entered into an agreement to maintain a schedule of lime prices, and then flooding the market very soon afterward with his lime, eold from 60 to 60 cents cheaper than the agreement provided. This Is said to have precipitated fhe lime war of 1901, 1902, 1903 and 1904. Hugh O'Neill, a lime burner, who left the Tacoma & Roche Harbor Lime Com pany a short time ago, Bwears that the dynamo that ought to have been used- to provide electric lights during lime-burn ing at night, was busy charging the elec tric motor in the launch of young Fred H. McMillin, left in charge of the Roche Harbor plant as superintendent when his father moved to Seattle, after receiving an appointment as State Railroad Com mlssioner. O'Neill claims about one-third loss has resulted from inexperienced burn ing of lime at the plant. ' Alpheus Byers. who was one of the incorporators and stockholders in the Island Lime Company, with a plant lo cated at Ocean, near Deer Harbor on Orcas Island, ten miles distant from Roche Harbor, makes the sensational charge of a violated agreement against McMillin. In a lengithy affidavit he re cites the fact that the lime compa nies signed a compact to quote lime at $1.25 f. o. b. the boat at the plant and to compel agents or dealers to sell at $1.60. A copy of the agreement is jriven in the affidavit. . Byers swears this 1 agreement was made at 6 P. M. July 18, 1900. Some time after signing the agreement he accuses McMillin of calling in Seattle dealers and notifying them that the price of lime would be $1 in this city and 75 cents a barrel f. o. b. the boats at Roche Harbor. He is accused of having attempted to flood the market before rivals could learn of his pur pose and of precipitating the lime war that continued until August or Sep tember, 1904. Despite the fact that a lime war was raging, Byers claims his company paid dividends running from 2o to 40 per cent, and though compelled to ship barrel materials from Portland and Aberdeen and to pay coopers 1 cent a barrel higher than the running wages on the Sound because of the iso lated position of the lime plant, se cured barrels at a cost of 26 3-1) cents. These figures on profit and cost of barrels are Important, for one of the charges in Cowell's suit against Mc Mtllln is that the plant which ought to have paid dividends regularly has paid but fib, 000 since its organization He also accuses McMillin of suppress ing information regardaig the cost of barrels to get a contract with the Ta coma Roche Harbor Lime Company for barrels, made by himself, at a cost of 30 cents. McMUlin's affidavit filed today says these barrels cost him 23 y, cents to manufacture, and the royalty on the Waterman-Chapman barrel ma chine brought the cost up to 25 cents. To McMillin's affidavit, answering the Cowell charges. Is appended a letter written by E. V. Cowell to a Toronto capitalist, whom McMillin says he had Interested in a big cement enterprise at Roche Harbor and who would have purchased the McMillin lime interests. This letter severely criticises McMU lin's management and had the effect of blocking the trade. In McMillin's affi davit he also confirms the story that he had practically completed a sale of his' interest when the serving of Cow ell's affidavit spoiled the deal. He accuses the Cowells of having upset past pians oi a similar nature McMillin's affidavit is a recital of the story of the company's organiza tion and its management. An arraign ment of Henry Cowell, frequently re ferred to as -the "lime king" of the coast, and a man "worth many millions of dollars," occupied half a dozen, pages of the affidavit. McMillin charges he was a "grasp ing, selfish and hard-hearted man," pursuing a vindictive course up to the time of his "death by violence at the age of 91." McMillin justifies his removal to Seattle and his increase in salary to $12,000. He goes fully Into the details of the experiments with the manufac ture of barrels, and says he made money for the company. COMMENCEMENT AT PACIFIC. University Begins 54th Annual Ex ercises Friday.
